Women OF Whom We Are Proud.
Specialized education does not neces-

oning, would all professional men be
personally charming and delightful,
which undoubtedly they are not. "A girl
may be a sound Grecian, IA brilliant mathe

idleness and ignorance; while
good all-around education is likely
10 prove more Serviceable in the

preme accomplishments. Many of us
make the mistake of confounding edu-
cation with requirements. and of
running together mental development
and intellectual specialization. The
women of whom we are most proud
in our own history were not re-
markable for special intellectual acquire
ments SO much as for general character
and the harmonious workings of will
and morality. The Lady Fanshawes
and Elizabeth FryS, the Mary Carpenters
and the Florence Nightingales. whose
names are practically immortal, were
not noted for their learning. but they
were none the less women whose mark
in history is indelible, and the good
they did lives after them and will
never die. And taking one of

Society Jargon In Washington.

The society girls at Washington do
not consider it the proper thing TO speak
English with the Slightest tinge of
Americanism. A year age society
unanimously adopted what is known as
the English accent, and to an outsider
there was not much of any difference
between the talk that one heard i'll Lon
don and Washington. Now, however,
by some peculiar and ineXplicable twist,
tie ladies are all doing their best to
speak English with a French accent,
while the gentlemen still try to be as
Cockney as of old. The result is more
than laughable. The jargon to one not
accustomed to il is more than distress
ing: 1t took society some time to ''catch
on" to the change, but the transforma-
ton is now very nearly complete. 1t is
understood that the Misses West, the
daughters of the English minister. ad

The empress of Russia has quite as Wig

Nude Shoulders.

Now, what is there in nude neclIS and
shoulders that they should have such
charm for royalty? 1t would be con-
ceivable if the mania were confined to
pretty neckS and shoulders. But it is
indiscriminate. The most scraggy or
the most developed necks of matrons
seem to exercise the same fascination on
royal personages as those of youthful
Hebes. The aged emperor of Germany
